Change bottom menu bar - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Ok I'm new to this phone and would like some help, after much searching....
I want to change the Today bottom menu bar which offers Phone and Internet to Phone and Calendar ? I have changed to the black theme via Diamond Config ?
In the registry I have found HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/MANILA. In HomeRSKPath it says EFBROWSER. Do I change this to EFCALENDAR ? And then HomeRSKPath from Internet to Calendar ? If I do this, I am worried that other information may cause an error, since I read somewhere else to do this ... " In HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Home\Keys\xxx (xxx is 112 for left button, 113 for right buttom), edit the following registry entries:
@ = "label of the command" & Open = "path to launched application" " And I can't find the 113.
Thanks

SMS problems

Everytime I open up the thread, I have to scroll up to see the screen as per attached. Please advice how I can tweak.
Can just..(squint) make it out from your picture...
This only happens on mine in landscape when I open an SMS (1 liner) on my TyTnII. The screen is offset and I have to scroll to the top.
I think its a MS Windows Mobile (feature!!) bug when you have a contact image saved and when it is displayed in the header, screws up the display. It is very annoying.
Any answers out there?
i had the same problem!!
and the solution for me was to hard reset
Go to the REgistry and do the following change:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Navigation/4-Way Nav and change the "0" to "1".
That will fix it.Mine did...

Works fine.
does anyone have the path for contacts ? i dont find it, and the poutlook.exe does not work.
thanks
...and I need the path for "Phone"... for back to original state...
For contacts, you have to edit the 3 keys describes by sudboy :
HomeLSKArguments (or HomeRSKArguments) : modify value to "Contacts"
HomeLSKPath (or HomeLSKPath ) : modify value to "\windows\poutlook.exe"
HomeLSKText (or HomeLSKText) : modify value to "Contacts" (for exemple)
It works fine for me (Previously I always got an error message about trusted certificate ....)
For "Phone" the file is "PhoneAgent" (\Windows\PhoneAgent.exe) but I didn't test this one

For some reason this does not work for me. I've replaced path and text with my desired choice, and it does not load my desired program although the text shows what I want. I have the paths correct, tried other programs, still nothing. I've left arguments blank each time (maybe that's the fault?) but I don't know exactly what goes here.
I did a test, and changed everything BUT text. it still loaded camera, even though the path was pointing to another program.
any help appreciated. thanks!

You have to restart. If the path is correct it will work.
yes I've restarted. anyways, I created a thread, it seems sprint users are affected by this issue of it not working.

Does anyone knows how to do this ?

Here is the way to change the homekeys IN TFLO 3D.
In a registry editor, go to:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
Here is:
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.
hope it help
I try this, thanks
I had a look at these keys. But what i don't understand is that there's different tabs, and so different softkeys for each one, and only one value in the registry. So if I manually enter the adress and the name, not sure it will work, or if it does, i'll certainly have the same hotkey everywhere... but i only want to replace the left softkey in the contact tab...
Hi do you have a black skin for the diamond, I just found a white one (with the correct resoluton).

The PocketCM FAQ...
How to add this application as the default contact manager?
Easiest way: download and install the CAB version of PocketCM.
You can also do it by hand:
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS
Change "String 1" value from :MSPOUTLOOK contacts to "\Program Files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe".
Make sure that you add the "" on the new entry.
Also...
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSPOUTLOOK
Change "String 1" value from "poutlook.exe" to "\Program Files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe".
without the "" on the entry.
then reset or re-start your Diamond

Before posting this, i'd already search on PocketCM faq... not a noob...
What I want is changing the softkey on Touchflo3D interface : it has nothing to do with softkey on Today's screen.
I think shonan70 was closer to the solution.
Finally found the solution by myself :

HOWTO: Change Soft Keys with Registry!

Well, after snooping around trying to find out how to change the kaiser's soft keys using registry only, I finally found the solution after peeking into PocketCM's registry!
Here's how to do it:
1. Using a registry editor (I prefer PHM RegEdit), navigate to the first left one, which is:
Code:
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
You'll notice two strings there: "Default" and "Open" (no quotes).
"Default" is the name of the left soft key, so if you wanted the left soft key to say Internet Explorer, just change the value of of the string to say "Internet Explorer". "Open" is the path of the file you want to open when you click on the left soft key, and it has to be an .exe file! So, if you wanted the left soft key to open Internet Explorer, you would change the value of "Default" to say Internet Explorer instead of Calendar, and you would change "Open" to \windows\iexplore.exe. That's it!
Now, for changing the right soft key. The interesting thing is, that it seems you can only change the path of Contacts to open a different application, although some programs allow you to change the name, so it must be possible to change the name. Anyway, to change the path of the right soft key, open your Registry editor, then go to
Code:
HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS
now, edit the value of 1 to the path you want, and it must be an .exe!
That's it, let me know if I missed something!
Thank you so much!!!!!
It was the only way I could change the left soft key in the new V10 ROM by L26!
Not even SwopKeys was working.
The only thing missing is the name of the right softkey, can you tell me how to change it?
The other soft key is (on some devices)
Code:
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113

lol, thanks, I was trying 111 and 114 for some reason, good to know!
In my latest custom rom for myself this is the registry setting I made in my kitchen....works great...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113]
@="Contacts"
"Open"="\\windows\\iContact.exe"
This was placed in the rgu located in the OEM_Lang_409 folder.
Just some information...This rgu contains all the key settings so you can change them to what you would like while cooking
Any idea on how to change the left softkey while in phone mode from "Hide Keypad" to "Contacts"?

Problem selecting text

I noticed a strange problem.
Inside text editing application that do not warp lines (Orneta Notepad Mobile and any other notepad style application I tried) text selection (with stylus tap and drag) only works when lines a short and orizontal scroll bar is missing or disabled. When lines are longer and orizontal scroll bar appears text selection is no more possible.
Does anyother noticed this problem?
Any solution?
Selecting text works not so fine anymore.
When I hold the syles on the screen sometimes it works, but not oke.
Or when I hit with the styles on a word he selected that word.
With me other WM phones (HTC to) it was possible selecting, copy, paste in most places. It was very simple te select a pease of tekst.
Does HTC running a app that has a conflict with the WM selecting option?
I have searching registry if there is maybe a key to change.
I don't like the slecting way on the Diamond2.
I hope someone find out what the problem can be.

True.
KraFT
I found a partial solution: there is a way to make a list of applications that should be ignored by TouchFlo. Inside these applications scroll by tap and drag stop working but text selection does work.
Find the registry key HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\TFLOIgnoreAPPs
For any application that you want TouchFlo ignore create a string value and assign to it the name of the application .exe file (important: the value seems to be case sensitive)
For example in my case for Orneta Notepad Mobile
HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\TFLOIgnoreAPPs\IgnoreAppNP = "NOTEPAD.exe"
Thanks, it works.
I have now add strings with poutlook.exe, PIMConnectivity.exe, Notepad.exe and Explorer.exe (resco) .
In those apps it works now fine.
